Over The Rhine

Oh Yeah By The Way

“It’s a song about some people that we’ve really loved, that come into our life and then seem intent on just hurting themselves. It’s just this tragic situation where you love these people and try to help but, on the other hand, you realize that you’re unable to ultimately save people that don’t necessarily want to be helped.”Karin Bergquist (328)

First Snowfall

“We started the band in what was considered the bad part of town – in Cincinnati, an old neighborhood called Over The Rhine. We lived down there for about ten years, did a lot of our early songwriting down there. It seemed like, whenever we’d get our first real snowfall of the year, it felt like something sacred was happening. Like a little bit of a fresh start, the city would slow down and go quiet and I never forgot the way that felt.”Linford Detweiler (110)
